Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection, foretold by 12 Biblical Prophets & Kings

Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection, foretold by 12 Biblical Prophets & Kings, was written for youth groups, Jesus lovers, church leaders, Bible study groups, and families eager for a deeper understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ. The author filled this book with conceptual illustrations that help further illuminate the readers' experience. She also included chapter-by-chapter study guides for your convenience. Ten Biblical prophets (Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, Moses, Nathan, Samuel, and Zechariah) and two kings (King David and King Solomon) foretold, foreshadowed, and prophesied about the birth, life, and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, His resurrection three days later, followed by His ascension. This book primarily focuses on the final week of Jesus' life, including His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension; details about the Holy Spirit; the vital importance of forgiving even if you can't forget; and the Disciples and other followers who helped spread His teachings worldwide. It ends with a call to action for all to become or continue being a S.O.L.D.I.E.R. for Christ as a Saved Christian Gentile or Messianic Jew who will spread the word that Jesus is at the root of all people's Salvation. As Jesus aptly said in John 14:6 (K.J.V.), "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

The world needs you: a faithful and courageous believer in a loving God whose truth has the power to transform a dying world. • Do you ever feel like God is calling you to act but don’t know where to start? • Have you ever wondered how to reach out to a person in love when they hate you for your faith? • Do you want to stand firm when it feels like the world is against you and your beliefs? After wrestling with these questions personally, twin brothers and real-estate moguls David and Jason Benham have good news for you: God wants to use both your boldness and your brokenness to accomplish his purposes. The Benhams know what it means to be broken. In 2014, the brothers watched their dreams ripped apart when HGTV scrapped their upcoming reality show.

From the rush of the London subway system to the deafening cheers of Chicago’s Wrigley Field, the Benhams use personal stories and sound biblical teaching to show you how your everyday struggles are your strongest tools toward understanding the needs of others and boldly accomplishing God’s purposes. Now is your moment to step out in boldness to become the lifeline between a dying world and the God who lovingly saves. Join the Benhams and discover how Christ can transform your brokenness into an indispensable tool of courage and strength.




A Simplicity of Faith


Book Description

In 1980, lawyer/theologian William Stringfellow experienced the loss of his close friend and companion, poet Anthony Towne. Totally unexpected, Towne's death brought Stringfellow face-to-face with his most personal encounter with grief. These pages eloquently record his year of mourning, thus becoming both a tribute to Towne and a way of celebrating life--past and future. Five of Towne's poems appear here, brilliantly capturing the mood and tone of Stringfellow's text. Through the course of Stringfellow's dialogue with grief, he teaches us that bereavement can be a special source of inner peace. We discover that to know life in its fullest is to know and face death. 'A Simplicity of Faith' is a spiritual odyssey of rare intensity. It is a convincing argument that biography, reflected upon, becomes theology. Though in many aspects focused on death, it is a powerful statement of what it means to be totally alive.
